Here is a tip for T-Mobile users... there is no reason to get the extra SMS bucket if you have GPRS... simply change your SMS send preference to use GPRS instead if GSM and that way you get 300 free SMS messages (they don't even get deducted from your data amount it is considered a seperate pool). This works for any phone that supports GPRS and GPRS SMS.

Ps. One negative side effect is of course that you can only send SMS messages if you have GPRS coverage... but where I live it is excellent so I have no problems. On the plus side your messages will be sent in a blink of an eye... about 2-3 times faster than with GSM.


Is tis true? If it is, do you think it would be wise of me to activate GPRS on order for this to work? Also, does it mean that I get 300 absolutely free SMS or do I have to pay GPRS fees?

Thanks in advance,
Ellie

@geo yeah, if you don't have GPRS activated you need to phone up O2 and get it activated for free. you will also need to have GPRS coverage (you'll know when you have coverage because that little green irregular triangle appears above your coverage bar).
